Worthing Councils

Worthing is a major town in a glorious location on the Sunny Sussex coast. With a history dating back to well before Roman times, Worthing became the archetypal Victorian seaside resort when people began to take notice of its winning combination of sunshine, sea, spectacular countryside and relatively easy access from London.

Still popular with holidaymakers and day-trippers alike, Worthing is a great place to visit and a good place to live with all the amenities you would expect of a large town of nearly 100,000 people.
